PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Our Projects are on a small scale due to the lack of
funds at the present time. However, the impact seems to enduring, with
us receiving more requests to help individuals who need and facilitate
support Groups,Seminars, Workshops. We extend our services both to Individuals
and Groups who are in need of assistance.
PROJECT 1: "NEW FRIENDS" - Assistance for Immigrant
Women
We assist individuals (especially women who need assistance
in finding resources) such as medical services and support groups. This
is especially true for immigrant and other families who do not have
the family support or the resources. There are many who need special
assistance due to cultural, language barriers or disabilities etc. WE
PROVIDE REFERRAL SERVICES TO : A NETWORK OF SHELTERS, LEGAL CLINICS,
MEDICAL SERVICES, SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS.
We help in bringing together caring individuals who can provide
"Mentorship" to those who need real and practical
skills(such as driving, language and computer skills etc.,).
PROJECT 2: "TAKING CARE" - Programs in Rural Areas.
There is a vital need in many rural areas, to promote
Healthy lifestyles that include: Disease Prevention,
seeking Early Medical Assistance and Regular Health Screenings.
Seminars/Workshops:
The Volunteers in this organization who are professionals(
Health Care, Counseling) conduct programs upon request. Monthly support
groups are held which address various issues such as the following:
Support Groups:

PROJECT 3: "SPECIAL GIVERS" - Support for Care-Givers.
This Project is designed to 'support and encourage'
caregivers who unselfishly care for family members who are either
terminally ill or suffer from incurable illnesses. We assist
by relieving the caregivers for a few hours, help with minor chores and
help make it a little easier.
